The Learning Health Community is an emergent global multistakeholder grassroots incipient movement bonded together by a set of consensus Core Values Underlying a National-Scale Person-Centered Continuous Learning Health System developed at the 2012 Learning Health System (LHS) Summit. The Learning Health Community's Second LHS Summit was convened on December 8 to 9, 2016 building upon LHS efforts taking shape in order to achieve consensus on actions that, if taken, will advance LHSs and the LHS vision from what remain appealing concepts to a working reality for improving the health of individuals and populations globally. An iterative half-year collaborative revision process following the Second LHS Summit led to the development of the Learning Health Systems Consensus Action Plan.
ABSTRACT
Semantic interoperability among terminologies, data elements, and information models is fundamental and critical for sharing information from the scientific bench to the clinical bedside and back among systems. To meet this need, the vision for CDISC is to build a global, accessible electronic library, which enables precise and standardized data element definitions that can be used in applications and studies to improve biomedical research and its link with health care. As a pilot study, we propose a representation and harmonization framework for clinical study data elements and implement a prototype CDISC Shared Health and Research Electronic Library (CSHARE) using Semantic MediaWiki. We report the preliminary observations of how the components worked and the lessons learnt. In summary, the wiki provided a useful prototyping tool from a process standpoint.
